To all whom it q tcty concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM JAMISON CURRY, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Graters, of which the following is the specification.

My invention relates to improvements in graters; and the object of the invention is to devisea simple, strong, and efficient, rapid,

1 and easily-cleaned grater particularly, adaptable for the grating of vegetable and animal substances; and it consists, essentially, of a grater comprising a reinforcing-frame and a plate having the side lips bent around the frame, the said plate being arc-shaped in cross-section for the major intermediate portion of its Width and fiat'at the sides and being formed with a series of bars and openings between them, the said bars having reinforcing-ribs struck or formed out of the same and a continuous lower edge and a serrated upper edge the teethof which are rounded and inwardly turned, the parts being arranged and constructed in detail as hereinafter more particularly explained.

Figure-1 is a perspective view of my improved grater. tion. Fig. 3 is a cross-section.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts'in each figure.

A is the frame of the grater, which is Y formed of a stiff wire and is made substantially rectangular at the bottom and at the top is formed into a handle shape A.

B is the grating-plate, which is arc-shaped in cross-section in the intermediate portion and is provided with fiat sides I), which at the outer end terminate in circular li s b, which are bent around the frame, and t ereby hold the grating-plate in position.

The plate B is provided with a series of bars B, having contiguous openings B The bottom of the bar B has a smooth edge fol- Fig. 2 is a longitudinal seclowing the contour of the bar, and the top of the bar is provided with a series of teeth 6 having rounded inturned cutting ends; The bar has also pressed. or formed out of the same a strengthening-rib 6 which extends s from one fiat side I) to the other, and thereby reinforces the bar throughout its length and prevents any liability of such bar bending.

I It will be seen that as the teeth 12 are turned inwardly the grating will be done on the concaved side of the plate B, and as the teeth are rounded the substance grated Will be more readily cut and shredded than in the I ordinary form of grater, making it especially adapted for potatoes and other vegetables.

What I claim as my invention is 1. A grater comprising a frame and a grater-plate arc-shaped in cross-sectionfor the major portion of its width and having fiat sides terminating in portions curling around the sides .of the frame and provided with a series of bars and contiguous openings from end to end, the cutting edge of the'bar having teeth formed up in the same turned inwardly to the concaved side and rounded at the crown as and for the purpose specified.

2. A grater comprising a frame and a grater-plate arc-shaped in cross-section for the major portion of its Width and having fiat sides terminating inportions curling around the sides of theframe' and provided with a- B. BOYD, E. B. MATTHEWS.
